The correct answer is Not look for the Cheerio.

The term object permanence for Piaget is used to describe the child's ability to know that objects continue to exist even though they can no longer be seen or heard.

When an object is hidden from view, children under a certain age are often upset that the item has disappeared. This is because they are too young to understand that the object continues to exist even though it cannot be seen.
